Patent CA-2571228-A1 (CA)
Title: Analog to digital converter calibration via synchronous demodulation
Inventor: ANTHONY MICHAEL P
IPC: H03M1/10
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: A technique for dynamically calibrating a successive approximation charge to digital converter by toggling at least some portion of the converter between two predetermined states, with the design goal of balancing the voltage and/or charge that is output in the two states. The two states are chosen such that they are expected to generate the same output voltage when the converter is in "normal" operation mode, e.g., within a fraction of the Least Significant Bit (LSB) resolution of the converter. If there is an imbalance, switching between the two calibration states invariably generates a square wave signal that toggles between two distinct values. A synchronous demodulator having a bandwidth centered at the toggle frequency can then be used to accurately detect an amount of error, which is then feedback to generate correction signals. If there are undesirable static offsets introduced by the synchronous demodulator or by the signal and/or charge levels output by the two differential halves of the converter, a properly timed latch can be used to further stabilize the error signal.

Abstract: A toilet overflow control system is provided including a secondary float chamber and secondary float. The secondary float chamber is located below the toilet water tank and behind the toilet bowl at the water level of the toilet bowl and extending upward to the bottom of the toilet water tank. A vertical rod extends upward from the secondary float and is attached to a lever on the toilet water supply valve. This allows the secondary float to turn off the water when the toilet bowl water rises above a normal level. The vertical rod is inside a tube that allows it to go through the water tank without any loss of water. The secondary float chamber is fluidically connected to the toilet bowl by a horizontal conduit located just above the toilet bowl normal water level. A rinse hose is connected to the water supply valve to allow rinse water to flow into the secondary float chamber to prevent a back flow of water into the secondary float chamber during the flush.

Title: Large diameter mid-zone air separation cone for expanding irz
Inventor: ROWLEY DANIEL R
IPC: F23D14/58
Filed: 2007-05-24
Abstract: A large diameter mid-zone air separation cone is provided for decreasing NOx during burner operation by expanding the internal recirculation zone (IRZ) at the burner exit. The mid-zone air separation cone has a short cylindrical leading edge that fits in the outer air zone of a burner. The mid-zone air separation cone splits the outer air zone secondary air flow into two equal or unequal streams depending on the position of the air separation cone with respect to the outer air zone, and deflects a portion of the secondary air flow radially outward. Since the radial position of the air separation cone is farther from the burner centerline, the IRZ size is expanded and NOx emissions are minimized.
